In some cases, children are the only eyewitnesses, which makes their testimony especially critical for solving the cases. But how reliable is child eyewitness evidence? Joanna Pozzulo argues that although children may be less advanced in these skills than adults, they nonetheless can provide invaluable evidence. She interprets the research in light of developmental theories and notes its practical implications for forensic investigations. Interviewing techniques that facilitate accurate recall are presented, as are lineup techniques that facilitate accurate recognition. This book is an essential resource for all forensic investigators. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction \u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Overview of Forensic Concepts \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ability of Young Eyewitnesses to Describe a Person \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Techniques to Improve the Amount and Accuracy of Recall Information \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Effects of Lineup Construction and Procedures \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Other Factors Influencing the Young Eyewitness' Identification Accuracy \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Recall and Identification Abilities Differ Between Young and Adult Eyewitnesses \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Relation Between Describing the Perpetrator and Identifying the Perpetrator \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jurors' Perceptions of the Young Eyewitness \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Policy Implications \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Future Directions for Young Eyewitness Research \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e About the Author\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"American Psychological Association","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52584854683928,"sku":"9781433822926","price":56.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-young-eyewitness-how-well-do-children-and-adolescents-describe-and-identify-perpetrators-hardback-9781433822926","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
